Lt. Gen. Noel Clement, erstwhile commander of the Armed Forces Central Command based in Cebu, will officially take over the helm of the Armed Forces today.

President Duterte, commander-in-chief, will lead the change of command and retirement ceremony between Clement and outgoing AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Benjamin Madrigal Jr. around 4:30 p.m. in Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.
